Davinna as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Davinna

What is the meaning of the name Davinna ?

The baby name Davinna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /dəˈviːnə/ (duh-VEE-nuh) — also commonly pronounced /dəˈvɪnə/ (duh-VIN-uh).

Davinna is Hebrew in Origin.

Davinna is a modern feminine given name, a respelling of Davina, the Scottish and English feminine form of David. David derives from Hebrew Dawid, widely glossed as “beloved,” from the root dwd. The -ina ending in Davina/Davinna gives a gently diminutive feel, sometimes interpreted as “little beloved.” The double‑n spelling likely reflects contemporary Anglophone taste for embellished forms while preserving the same pronunciation (da-VEE-nə).

Use of Davina is documented in Scotland and across Britain from at least the early modern period, with broader revival in the 20th century; well-known bearers include TV presenter Davina McCall and Lady Davina Windsor. Davinna itself is rare, appearing in late-20th/21st-century records in the UK and North America. Close variants and cognates include Davina, Davine, Davinia, and Davida; related male forms are David and Dawid. Common nicknames: Davi, Vina, Vinny/Vinnie, and Davie. Meaning: beloved.
